i don't know who advised governor romney to say that. that was very early on in the primaries and i was a surrogate for governor romney and i did notice, and that he was moderating as he came in the general election in saying a lot of the right things and really understanding from an economic standpoint that this is a necessity. not something to tolerate but something to encourage and think about and to plan strategically. no question that statement of self-deportation came back to haunt the governor all the way to the last day of the again real legislation. because, and that's part of the problem that has been talked about is this crazy primary process where you have to run to the extreme right and say sometimes some very illogical and outrageous things to get nominated and then you have to run to the center to nominate your stance. the problem is everything is taped and people go back to what you said in the primaries and juxtapose that with the general election and it's a crazy system and the irony is, it is being controlled by what i

so you have two billionaires speaking and the collateral damage is governor romney. so i think republicans are looking back at this and saying we, the party, lost control of the primary process meaning a billionaire or two, not the people. there are people out there saying this is the voes of tice people and it's wonderful to have people involved. this is one billionaire speaking to another billionaire or two billionaires attacking mitt romney and it's a very small conversation, but it clearly changed the race so that's one way where i think they had a huge effect. the other is if i were a democrat and i were looking forward i would say we were lucky this time. we dodged a bullet. we had barack obama. he's an incumbent president. he had no primary challenge. he started raising money in april of 2011. so he had a whole year before romney was really each beginning to think about the general election to raise and stockpile money. even so, he just spent the republicans to a draw because the republican super pacs raised and spent three times as much as the democratic supe
